Need a theme

You won’t find a theme with all of those features – you’ll need a plugin for forums and possibly other functionality. I’d suggest looking here for themes:

https://www.ads-software.com/themes/

Find one you like the general look of and layouts.

Then look for plugins – these might be a starting place:

https://bbpress.org/

Thanks. In other words, I’ll need a plugin for the forum, for the states, for the regions? Is that what you are saying? And I forgot I have categories and subcats plugins for those too?

Depends on what, exactly you are wanting to do. Start investigating the directory plugins – some may include that kind of function.

Thanks again for the great info.

Hello,

I read through the links and found one plugin that should really work with my website since I’ve already have a theme. I am thinking about BePro Listings -it says it is the best wordpress directory plugin available. Has anyone every used it? Does anyone know if it is good and most importantly, how long would it take to implement? Approximately. Thanks.

You’ll have to ask on the sub-forum for that plugin – see info here:

Hello once again,

Can anyone let me know, if possible, where my State/Regions/Cities disappeared to within the directory listing section? I was entering some listings – then I had to enter a region, when I did NYS wasn’t in the dropdown anymore. Like BOOOOOM, it just wasn’t there. I searched in the State/Region/City on the left hand side of the page and it was there. But for some reason, within the listing, it is not there. How do I put it back? I did not delete anything. I was just trying to add a region which I have done many many times. I know how to do this but I really need to know how to put NYS back. Any help soon please?
